Next up for Ipswich Town in the Championship is Blackburn Rovers. The Tractor Boys are looking to go second with a win against the 20th-place Rovers with their game in hand. However, it's going to be anything but easy considering the away side’s desperation to stay ahead of the relegation zone. Let's get into this match prediction.
Ipswich are coming off a 2-1 win against League One side Blackpool in the FA Cup. That win now makes it four victories in their last four games, with the away draw against Millwall being the only exception. The Tractor Boys return to the league in third place and eight points off the top.
However, they have a game in hand that could send them one point clear of Middlesbrough in second and within five points of Coventry in 1st position. The problem now is beating a desperate Blackburn side. Despite their underwhelming performances, Blackburn have been a thorn in the side of Championship teams, losing only two of their last nine games, despite only one win.
That's seven draws in their last nine, and Ipswich just happens to be among the stalemates when they drew 1-1 in December. For the Rovers, every single point matters as they roam dangerously above the relegation zone, with only four points separating them and 22nd-placed Norwich.
